Battle Racers
SD Mario KartGenre: racing - vehicle combat
Publisher: Banpresto
Year: 1995
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
This is a blatant Mario Kart clone with everything that MK includes and nothing added. My only complaints are that there are only four playable characters and the difficulty level is so low. This is one of the easiest racing games I've ever played.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
There are a ton of tracks and they exhibit a lot of variety. There are jump pads, hazards, pits, tight turns, etc. The only problem comes from the poor graphics making everything look like an amorphous mess. It's very difficult to differentiate between helpful and harmful elements.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
SD guys are fun
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Forced split screen like Mario Kart. All sprites are indiscernible blobs due to the scaling effects. Interestingly, you can adjust the camera angle by pressing Select. There are four levels and this greatly affects the gameplay since it's much easier to turn in the higher camera settings. But graphically this makes the game look increasingly ugly.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Uninteresting game music. Some stages seem to have no music. Annoying screeching sounds.
Overall Score: 76
